During this period, reconnaissance investigations of more than 100 thermal spring sites and fumarole fields located in Alaska were conducted by DGGS. Only a few geothermal areas in Alaska have thus far received any detailed investigation and, except for reconnaissance studies, most of the state's geothermal resources remain virtually unexplored. There has been a growing awareness, however, that geothermal resources can play a significant role in meeting the states energy needs, particularly in rural areas. The primary purpose of this map, therefore, is to aid potential users in development of geothermal resources in a manner beneficial for Alaska. Funding for this project was jointly supplied by the U.S. Department of Energy and the State of Alaska. Additional Acknowledgments: John W. Reeder of DGGS supplied information.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Total potential horizontal error for surficial-geologic map features is estimated to be approximately 100 meters. Surficial-geologic map data have a horizontal positional accuracy dependent on: (1) the 1:50,000-scale (nominal) aerial photographs on which they are based, with an estimated potential error due to a pen line width of approximately 0.001 being equivalent to approximately 1.5 meters on the ground; (2) the accuracy of the human zoom transfer scope operator in tracing the linework from acetate overlays to topographic base maps, with an estimated error due to a pen line width of approximately 0.001 being equivalent to approximately 1.5 meters on the ground; (3) the accuracy of the zoom transfer process itself, error magnitude highly variable and unknown but potentially large; (4) the digitizing RMS error of 0.003 inches [input coverage units], which equates to approximately 5 meters on the ground for a 1:63,360-scale map; (5) the accuracy of the human operator digitizing the geologic linework from the topographic base maps, with an estimated error due to a pen line width of approximately 0.001 being equivalent to approximately 1.5 meters on the ground; and (6) the accuracy of the topographic maps. meters 100 This dataset includes coverages that contain information about volcanic vents, geothermal gradient test holes, hotsprings, potential exploration areas for geothermal resources, and Quaternary or Quaternary-Tertiary volcanic rocks. This work includes reconnaissance of site geology and hydrology, investigation of thermal spring and fumarole characteristics including temperatures and flow rates, and geochemical sampling of thermal fluids. This map is based largely on information gathered from these reconnaissance studies plus additional information obtained from more detailed studies recently conducted at several of the more promising geothermal areas.

This map is based largely on information gathered from these reconnaissance studies plus additional information obtained from more detailed studies recently conducted at several of the more promising geothermal areas. Additional background material was provided by previous investigations and compilations of the state's geothermal resources (Miller, 1973, Markle, 1979, Lawver et al., 1979) 1979-01-01T00:00:00 Digital data compilation - Digital data was produced for this publication using the latitudes and longitudes provided in the chart on the printed publication. Other information was digitized when needed. 2006-08-01T00:00:00 Field techniques and Sampling Procedures: All field techniques and sampling procedures are fully detailed in Motyka et al., 1980. A standard pattern of sample and data acquisition was followed at each thermal area visited. At site with multiple springs, water samples were normally obtained from the thermal spring with the highest temperature and greatest discharge. Water samples were collected, filtered, and treated following procedures described in Presser and Barnes (1974). 1979-01-01T00:00:00 Laboratory Analyses, Methods Used and Precision: Whenever possible, laboratory methods of determination used by DGGS were taken from the list of methods of choice for each chemical species as prescribed by Presser and Barnes (1974). Details on instrumentation and laboratory methods can be found in Motyka et al., 1980.
